This image represents a blend of food and the often unseen scientific processes that go into food production. The semi-translucent photos depict laboratory materials that are commonly used in my research, including bacteria cultures growing on agar plates and micropipettes. They are overlaid over...

Inspired by the speculative worldbuilding of Ursula Le Guin, Selkie folktales of Scotland and the Faroe Islands, and open-world videogames, Archipelago is a virtual environment generated from the user data of a single Google account. The viewer assumes the role of the Selkie, a liminal figure...

After a long day of drifting at sea, fishers go home with either a boatload of fish or nothing at all. Sunset marks the end of a day’s work of a fisher who sails on a daily basis to make ends meet. This photo was taken during my ethnographic fieldwork in Davao Oriental, Philippines. Fishing as a...

Much of science is hidden. Either conducted behind closed doors, or obfuscated by papers unreadable to even members of the same discipline, stories of science are seldom heard. The left portion of the image represents this – an image of a fixed mouse brain, which had been injected with 2 viruses...

A mathematics curriculum often seems be designed or delivered as linear: a sequence of predetermined, sometimes unrelated, topics with little chances for learners to revisit them from different perspectives. This suggests learning as accumulation with predictable outcomes. However, learning,...

How does one re-create a legible narrative derived out of the complexities of data? How can visual communication design aid the process of turning information into knowledge? Visual data almost always is complex and extensive but its comprehension should be relatively straight-forward....

As our lives become increasingly intertwined with technology, the amount of digital information created every day grows substantially. Massive data centres handle the current demand for storage; however, these buildings can have large footprints, requiring swaths of dedicated physical space. One...

My intention, as an overall conceptual starting point, is inspired by an ongoing series of drawings I call “impossible set designs.” These drawings use scale, forced perspective, paradox, and weights and balances to create optical illusions that destabilize the spectator’s gaze. They are intended...

Here, we have experimentally measured the wavefunction of a single buried arsenic atom peeking through a silicon surface. Its complex form perfectly captures one of the most fundamental properties of quantum mechanics: the location of an electron is based on probability and is never fixed. While...

As a circus artist, I have spent years developing knowledge on how to move in the air. Coming from a background in circus and theatre, my research examines ways which virtuosic movement can tell a story and embody emotion. This image was captured during a workshop performance of a devised...
